He\u2019s a disciple of Tony Dungy; he\u2019s worked with Dungy. Dungy is a class individual, does not hire people who aren\u2019t great. But you know what struck me about this? The first time I met Dan Rooney was at Giants Stadium. It was like a preseason game. The Steelers were playing the Giants, and it was two or three years after they had hired Cowher, maybe a year after. So it would be 1993, something like that, and I asked him, because here\u2019s a guy 34 years old. Nobody had ever heard of him, and the Steelers had hired him, and Mr. Rooney said to me, &#8220;Well, I had never met him before he came in to interview,&#8221; and the exact age, almost within days, of Bill Cowher is Mike Tomlin, and he\u2019s assistant defensive coordinator. The Steelers\u2019 Chuck Noll was an offensive assistant, but he was 37 when he was hired. I think the Steelers have a pattern here. And with two coaches in the last 10,000 years, I don\u2019t think that you can object to it yet. I\u2019m excited by it. He\u2019s going to hold on to the 3-4 defense, kept Dick LeBeau. He\u2019s not totally shaking everything up. I trust Steelers management on decisions like this. They could not mess up and they\u2019re patient. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Roberta in Pittsburgh, welcome to the EIB Network.CALLER: Hi there!
